Hello to all my amazing readers! I'm bringing my September favourites to you today. Firstly, I'd like to apologise for the horrible photography. So many things went wrong in preparation for this post and I promise that the photos will be much better the next time round. Secondly, I need to apologise for the state that my Stilla bronzer is in. (Holy cow, it's hella dirty!) With all that said, let's get to it.
1. Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette: [Click here] My dad brought this back for me when he went on a short business trip to Malaysia. He used to come home with free coloured paper from his office when I was younger, I think it's safe to say he's learning how to win my heart. In all seriousness, I'm so grateful for having a father who takes time out of his trip to satisfy my makeup desires. The moment I opened the packaging, I fell in love with how well Urban Decay has managed to create such a beautiful palette. I have to say that out of all the Naked series, Naked 2 is definitely a champion. Also, Urban Decay never fails to provide perfect pigmentation, one swipe and you're good to go! I'll probably do a tutorial or swatch post soon.
2. Stilla Stay All Day Bronzer : [Click here] (Shade: Light) I received this bronzer as a complimentary gift when I repurchased my Giogio Armani perfume from a website named strawberry.net. At the time, I wasn't really too fond of contouring my face so I neglected it. However, in the month of September I've been loving the way it looks on my skin. It photographs beautifully and allows light to hit your face in all the right places. The edition that I have is the older one and they don't sell it in that packaging anymore but their new packaging is said to have the exact same content. Mecca Cosmetica recently cut down their price on it, so get on it!
3. Maybelline Colour Eyeshadow Tattoo: [Click here] I have so many of these but my absolute favourite is in the shade "Bad To The Bronze". Oh my goodness, pigmentation is mindblowing. Application, too easy. This is a holy grail product for an everyday look. Pop it on all over your lid and darken it in with a darker eyeshadow on the outer edges. (I use Snakebite from the Naked 2 Palette) Absolutely perfect, only have good things to say about this.
4. Essie Nail Polish (Pink About It): How excited were all us Aussie girlies when we found out that Essie nail polish was coming down under? After watching multiple youtubers rave about it, I was desperate to give it a shot. I understand that it's now selling at Priceline. Personally, I'm not willing to spend AU$17 on one nail polish so I got mine off CatchOfTheDay for only about $5 including shipping which is amazing! I'll be honest and let you know that I wasn't too fond of the colour when I first received it. However, the consistency and staying power blew me away, definitely going to grab a few other colours.
5. Tarte Amazonian Clay Foundation: [Click Here] I've been using this foundation for about 4 months and completely understood why everyone was raving about it. But only recently have I been loving the benefits of it. The coverage is on point for the days where I'm feeling like I need a bit more than BB cream.However, I'd only recommend this for those who actually need the coverage. If you have decent skin that only needs to be evened out, I'd go for something a bit lighter.
6. Nivea Lip Butter (Caramel Cream): [Click here] I ended up grabbing this because it was on sale at Coles for only 50cents and me, being the hoarder that I am, got sucked in. I'm really not too fond of this style of packaging due to the fact that I have to dig my nails into it. But the smell of this, oh my. I'm horrible at explaining scents but just think about fresh caramel popcorn, nailed it. I just got off a plane and I applied this at the start and my lips are still moisturised, amazing!
7. NYX Blush: [Click here] (Peach) If you know me at all, I'm not a blush girl. I flush so easily so I really don't find blush necessary. But I decided to try more blushes to go along with my beauty bucket list. This blush is a really old blush that I actually stole off my sister. It's a matte baby pink shade that is subtle and definitely perfect for my skin. It gives a healthy glow and I think it's a great blush for beginners.
